Unwelcoming

We have never stayed at a most unwelcoming place ever. We arrived at four thirty in the afternoon at the end of October to a freezing cold damp smelling property. We all had to keep our coats on for the first hour till the place warmed up I was concerned that my one year old grandson was getting colder by the minute. The place was a mishmash of furniture the bedding felt damp and floors in bedrooms weren't clean. As for the DO NOT notices it was laughable on the upstairs landing was a wall covered with laminate do not instructions wish I could include photos in this review. Every room had no smoking signs indeed in some rooms including the bathroom there were more than one. My daughters bedroom had a lamp with no bulb the bathroom had a picture that was hanging off wall which was just at my one year old grandsons height as he walked past it he touch it and it fell on him fortunately my daughter stopped it from landing on him fully . My eight year old grandson sat at kitchen table to have a drink and as he leaned his elbows on it the whole top tipped off thank goodness we were hugging our hot drinks at the time to keep warm or he could have been badly hurt. There was even a laminated do not sign about what not to wash up in the sink. The bedding felt damp and the things we had to do so as not to lose our damage deposit was laughable. I'm not sure what kind of people mrs manning had staying in the past but we found all the notices insulting that she would think we would treat her property with such little respect. Fortunately we were only there for two nights but having to go back to this place after a nice day out was not a pleasant thought we stayed out of it as much as possible. I e mailed mrs manning straight away about the kitchen table and the picture in the bathroom so as not to be accused of the damage I got a short email back saying 'thank you for the information' no kind of apology. before leaving we were told to turn off every radiator I felt sorry for who ever was in after us thinking about how cold they would be. It came as no surprise to find that the property was up for sale something we didn't know till we got there. One thing and only one thing in this properties favour is the location and I did get my damage deposit back promptly, the one star I have given is for location.

Review Submitted: 02-Nov-2016

Date of Stay: October 2016

Source: Owners Direct, from HomeAway

Owner's Response: I am extremely surprised and shocked by the malicious content in the response from this holidaymaker. The holidaymaker booked the property after seeing the many images of the property yet she complained about the furniture. The holidaymaker made no mention of any complaints when I spoke with her except to say a picture had come unhooked. The notices the holidaymaker referred to are instructions of how to switch on and turn up the heating and "no smoking" signs in each room intended for foreign tourists who stay at the property during the year and whose first language is not English. The property is clean, warm and the bedding is not damp. The holidaymaker's comment regarding the property being for sale is untrue and I can only think this holidaymaker confused the property with another property she had stayed.

Awful treat received by the landlord. Incredible lack of professionalism

I have been lucky enough to travelled around the world which means I have had to use a wide range of different accommodations where I have been treated amazingly.Unfortunately in this occasion, I need to write a negative feedback about Patricia due to the fact she's just decided to take my deposit accusing my family for something that was already broken before we checked in. Her lack of proffesionalism is unbelievable as she wouldn't admit that the maintenance issue was before we steped in the property, therefore why do we need to take the blame?

I would like to warn to every potential guest that if you're looking for an understandable, professional and fair host, obviously stay away from here

Owner's Response: My professional firm of cleaners check the property thoroughly each time guests leave to ensure everything is in order for the next guests' arrival. However, on this occasion my cleaners reported to me a broken radiator thermostat left on the kitchen floor belonging to the kitchen radiator. All radiator thermostats were unbroken and working before this particular guest's family arrived as the weather had been chilly the previous week and all gas radiators were left on due to the inclement weather. After these particular guests departed, new guests were due to arrive in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday. I had to quickly find a plumber to come out on a Sunday experiencing extra costs to replace the radiator thermostat with another. This guest had agreed to pay a damage deposit when he booked the property and therefore the cost of the repair was partially taken from the damage deposit, which damage deposit did not fully pay for the broken gas radiator thermostat and for the plumber's labour on a Sunday. I did not request the guest to pay the full charges for the broken gas radiator thermostat nor for the plumber's Sunday extra charges as I knew he would refuse as he kept refusing to accept responsibility for the broken gas radiator thermostat. I offered to send a copy of the plumber's invoice, but he said he did not want a copy sent still refusing to accept responsibility for the damage.

Great property, very accomodating

The house was lovely and fitted 8 people really well. There are a lot of rooms and a lot of seating. The actual living room has a few sofas and table/chairs, as well as a TV with in-built DVD player. There is a hairdryer, washing machine, some toiletries and very basic food items such as tea/coffee. There's enough pots/pans etc given and we were able to cook up some full englishes on the mornings. The bedrooms are a nice size with sufficient space to unpack. The front house door locks automatically behind you which is a nice safety feature, and there are extra keys for each bedroom if anybody is booking wanting privacy or with a group they don't know very well. The location was a short walk from a number of pubs/cafes and a short drive from the zoo/aquarium.

Only downsides are there is only one shower/bath for 8 people and there is no garden/outdoor area.

Owner's Response: Park Lodge Apartment does not come with a garden/outdoor area, only when Park Lodge Apartment and Park Lodge Garden Cottage are booked together making the property into one whole house, which sleeps up to 13 people then there is a private secluded stone walled courtyard patio garden. If Park Lodge Apartment and Park Lodge Garden Cottage are booked together there is an additional bathroom with bath and shower. When Park Lodge Apartment there is are two toilets.

The house was spacious with sufficient facilities. The carpet was too old and dusty.

The house locates at a very convenient road. The house was very spacious with sufficient facilities. To us surprise, there are even chopsticks found at kitchen drawers. However, the carpet is too old and dusty. As travelling with young children, we expect better hygienic condition.
